At first, I never really liked the railway. As a younger child, I was scared of HSTs (yes I was, no lie) and I did not enjoy taking the train either. Even when I grew up and had to start using the railway myself, I found the journey process to be long and rather tedious.
It was purely by chance that one day, whilst searching through the limited stack of PC Games in Blockbuster, I came across Trainz 2004. Despite feeling a little sceptical, I decided to give it go. It was from then on that my interest in the railway grew. No sooner had I started making layouts on the Trainz surveyor, I was down at my local station, writing down running numbers.
It was just two months ago that I started taking my first railway photographs. Now, I aim to take shots at least once every fortnight.
Whilst my railway enthusiasm did not get off to the best of starts, it is now one of my many interests and key passions.
